I owe a great big“thanks” to Chris Steele, who suggested I drive this route. It really is beautiful country I’m driving through. I have many more photos than I post here, and could have taken many more, but I have to make at least some progress towards Denver.
Thanks, Chris!
I can remember a song about the Big Rock Candy Mountain which I heard as a child. I can’t remember how the song goes, but today, I discovered that it really exists!
I spent the day at Bryce Canyon National Park, which is spectacular. If you are going to be anywhere near it, go there! I recommend following the Park’s suggestion, and starting as far down as you can (Rainbow Point if you’re spending much time in the park) and working up; the views are great everywhere, [...]
Having got off to a late start, partly to avoid starting out in the rain, I spent the afternoon in Zion National Park. In the Visitors’ Center, I saw pictures of an area called The Narrows, and wanted to hike there to see it. Closer investigation, however, revealed that it is the canyon bottom beyond [...]
I’m having a busy time travelling, and hardly get a chance to write anything. I visited Bill and Lisa on Saturday and Sunday, and saw their cute son Luke for the first time. We had a great time together - I even learned more about American Football, and almost understood the game . It’s [...]
I’ve just added the photos of my journey from Yosemite (Oakhurst) to Nipomo.
Today, I drove from Oakhurst through Fresno and San Luis Obispo to Nipomo, a small town near the Californian coast, to meet Roger Thoman, who works with house churches in the area and organised a Californian house church conference last year. The countryside is dry and brown most of the way. Around Fresno, it is [...]
I’m back in the virtual world. The Real World had me fully in its grasp since I left Lake Tahoe: none of the affordable hotels in and around Yosemite have internet connections, and the ones I found didn’t even have telephones in the rooms! I had a great time on the way to Yosemite and [...]
The day started off badly, and all because of George Barna’s ‘Revolution’ CD: I put the CD in the car player, and started listening while reversing out of my parking space. Distracted by what Barna was saying, and the loudness, I forgot the second metal pole on my left, and turned too early, leaving a [...]
The day started out grey. Having failed to contact Mary-Anne last night (which worried her, as I expected), I finally managed to get through.
My trip over Monitor Pass yesterday was so beautiful that I did not expect Yosemite to live up to it. The drive up Tioga Pass - this time in daylight! - was pleasant, and [...]
